linkemon
A tiny wrapper around nodemon that will automatically
watch all your linked node_module
s while ignoring all the rest. As the name says,
it should solve your nodemon
problems when you use a lot linked modules, such as when
having monorepos (Lerna, Yarn Workspaces, etc.).
Prerequisites
Make sure you have nodemon
already installed
npm install -g nodemon
In Mac OS you will also need the realpath
utility available in your PATH. You can install it with the following:
brew install coreutils
Install
npm install -g linkemon
Usage
Use the script as you would normally use nodemon
. Behind the scenes the script will add any
linked module in the ./node_modules
directory to the watchlist. For example:
linkemon -V server.js
Arguments
The following arguments are used directly by linkemon
and therefore will not be forwarded to nodemon
.
--ignorePackage
Excludes a specific linked package from the watchlist
linkemon --ignorePackage myLinkedPackage1 --ignorePackage myLinkedPackage2 server.js
